"A big snowy/icy where the sun couldn't shine, but not bad enough to put on the spikes. We hiked up to the cliff band, where Dave stayed as he is still recovering from an arm injury. I continued on to the summit and cleaned up the unfinished business." — BertB • Oct 18, 2025

"Couldnt have asked for better weather. This was my first hike since Eagle peak due to getting an ankle sprain at work shortly afterwards. So it was a great relief to be able to back at it. Very little wind and beautiful day!" — Slogenstein • Jul 9, 2022
